Hello All, Here's a link to a pretty good video. Short, but fairly close up, and the thing doesn't look too unlike a meteorite... http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16598&rn=49750&cl=1602098&ch=61492&src=news Regards, Jason __ Me

I got this link to play in Firefox and was able to pause it in the reverse view. There are a few features that look like regs. Perhaps the other gouges and such were created during its crash thru the building. We'll have to wait and see. Gary http://www.meteorite-dealers.com On 4 Jan 2007

That thing looks to me like many of the chunks of lead that I've dug while metal detecting, however, I just asked Lt. Robert Brightman, who was the officer on the scene if it was magnetic. He said that it held a magnet quite well. If it is lead, then there's something ferrous inside it, too. Mi
